What to expect
Visit one of the most impressive sacred sites on this skip-the-line tour! The Seville Cathedral is the largest Gothic cathedral in the world and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Among the many Spanish cathedrals, this landmark of Seville is a true national treasure and cannot be missed when visiting the Andalusian capital city.

The huge interior of the cathedral, with a central nave and four side aisles, immediately strikes the attention of the visitor and although it is lavishly decorated, there is a sense of overall simplicity and restraint in its decoration. This cathedral is home to the largest and richest altarpiece in the world, a true artistic and religious focal point of the monument.

Among the many incredible artifacts and decorations of the cathedral, you'll find the keys presented to Fernando by the Jewish and Moorish communities on the surrender of the city and you'll have the opportunity to admire the chapels dedicated to the many saints and other important figures in the history of Spain, adorning the sides of the cathedral. It is also noteworthy to mention the magnificent and priceless collection of beautiful stained-glass windows inside.

Another highlight of this visit is the entrance to the wonderful Moorish minaret, La Giralda, which now functions as the cathedral’s bell tower. It is well worth climbing to the top and admiring Seville from a different perspective.
